» Obama reverses pledge to stop funding factory farming!?
In an article in SF Gate is to be believed (and we’re currently looking for more backup on this), Obama’s campaign platform vowed to “close the loopholes that allow mega farms to get around (payment limits) by subdividing their operations into multiple paper corporations. Obama will take immediate action to close the loophole by proposing regulations to limit payments to active farmers who work the land, plus landlords who rent to active farmers.” This was one of the reasons many of us were stoked to vote for him. Well, that and he wasn’t John McCain. Super unfortunately, tomorrow the USDA is publishing final regulations that will preserve the giant loophope that allows big commodity farms (including factory farms) to remain eligible for subsidies.
If this is true, it’s the biggest bunch of bullshit. We’re doing some more investigating but honestly, Obama has to be careful, he’s gonna lose his base with shit like this. It’s extremely upsetting and NOW THURSDAY IS RUINED THANKS OBAMA.
Thanks to Food Fight for bringing this to our attention! Buy all your groceries from them!

I have a special place in my heart for Food Fight. I ordered a ton of shit from there when I was just a fledgling vegan. Yes, I had them ship stuff all the way to Philadelphia. I didn’t know what else to eat! That’s why I liked Food Fight; I didn’t have to do any “reading” or “thinking” about whether or not what I was buying was vegan because everything they sell is vegan. And they were so super-nice in their order correspondence!

Vegan Means I’m Trying to Suck Less! »
Food Fight Vegan Grocery is selling this awesome new button telling the world, “Hey, I’m vegan, I’m not a total condescending asshole, I’m just trying to do the fucking best I can so please don’t give me shit or else I swear TO GOD” in so many words. It’s pretty great. They still have my all-time favorite button which tells people that you hope they die eating their hamburger (it’s true!) and also a gangload of vegan candy. Buy me some of that, please and thank you.
